Epic just epic.
And don't forget to fill this after playing:
http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/form/nioh_uk
Ive played for the 2 hours and i barely got past the first 10 enemies
Maybe i should stop
>>335620163
Just take your time, don't mash until you're out of staminda and you should be fine.
It's not like other games where you can just power through enemy attacks
>>335620163
Keep going, I spent the whole fucking day completing both the levels.
This is literally a free game.
I am unironically having more fun with this demo than with the entirety of das3.
What is the free dlc?
>>335620502
Same here, to a certain extend.
DS3 is by far no bad game, but it just tries too hard to be DeS and DS1. It's literally just Dark Souls Greatest Hits Edition feat. your favorite NPCs and copied areas from previous souls games
>>335620317
i think i dont know the mechanics yet, my stamina bar does weird shit but i dont know if you can regain it
also what are those purple things dropping from summoned dead players?
>>335620716
Do a combo and you'll see that part of your stamina turns red and then the red part fills up, if you press R1 at any time you'll regain that amount of stamina, don't press it to late though otherwise the stamina that was red will be gone
>>335620502
It really saddens me but I agree.
DaS3's gameplay is stale as fuck compared to this.
How long is this demo going to last for?
Is there a way to repair weapons? My katana broke so i do shit damage. Shamefur dispray
I switched from a uchi to another uchi and to and axe and suddenly im out far more quicker of stamina and it takes longer to regenerate, what the fuck?
Also what do the spirits do? whats the best spirit to have? how do I get summoned to help others? this game is very vague
still fucking awesome game though, I stoped playing das3 altogether and been all day with this. Day 1 buy for me
>>335620996
Your entire day.
Fuck... I need s PS4 neo...
>>335619920
Even though I'm ok with giving the players a chance to tell their experience and give suggestions, I really hope they don't gimp down the difficulty too much because casuals can't deal with it
>>335620996
If you run past every enemy except bosses and kill every boss first try, maybe 20 minutes. But if you play like a human being and die sometimes and try shit out 6-10 hours or even more
>>335621073
So it's just today? Fuck, I have two important tests tomorrow.
>>335621127
It's till may fifth.
>>335621118
>>335621073
No, i'm asking how long is it going to be available for? I thought alpha demo's expired after a certain period of time?
>>335621034
Enemies drop whetstones to fix your weapons, there's also drops to fix your armor.
Speaking of drops, if you guys need to some bro-op action, you can farm NPC's for cups.
>>335621216
may fifth. it's literally above your reply.
>>335621075
hang on, we can wait, we will wait!
>>335621340
I hope they put a new demo after some time
>>335621281
I only ever got 1 whetstone, fug
>>335619920
pretty blatant shilling lad, tone down your enthusiasm
>>335621095
I don't think they will, the game isn't THAT difficult. You just need to get used/familiar to all the gameplay mechanics.
How much of a difference does armor make? I don't like dying in two hits, but I don't know if I'm comfortable trading off roll/dash distance. It still has i-frames for mid-heavyweights, right?
>>335621340
Release when?
>>335620539
Mark of the Conqueror or some shit like that
How do I find this in the US store?
I love it so far. I like when games use stance systems. I like how it shows every stat on the level up screen, and shows what is being directly affected by the stat being increased. The game is tough as shit, but rewarding when you get the hang of things. I feel cool when I can do a MS combo, backstep,parry, and do the sheath unsheathe thing. What are each of the animal spirits good for? I know Kato is good for melee, but what makes the others special?
>>335621707
no release yet.
>>335621404
true. honestly i'm hoping it goes the way of final fantasy 15 and sets a new standard WITH demos.
>>335621794

I think I'm in love with Nue, this boss has SO MANY FUCKING ATTACKS HOLY SHIT.
>Poison
>Tail attack
>Instant death bite
>Pounding your shit in
>Rolling with the speed of light
>AoE lightning
>Pouncing your ass
>Swipe
Holy fuck the shilling is real.
>>335619920
So, what is the end of the first stage?I'm stuck getting my ass beat by the guys at the top of the hill
>>335621918
Well it worked, because i'm downloading it now
How long to beat the first stage? And is the demo only the first stage?
>>335619920
So I'm guessing they'll make the main game easier. Everywhere I read people are complaining about it being too hard and can't even getting to the 2nd shrine. I mean how fucking casual can you be?
>>335621651
Huge difference, i barely take any damage from normal enemies
>>335621918
god forbid we talk about games. wouldn't want to undermine your dank "/v/ doesn't talk about videogames" meme
>>335621952
it's by the river. you'll find a boat with a boss in it. You're not even halfway if you are where i think you are. Did you get to a town yet? You have to go through that first.
>>335621918
abloobloo dont talk about video games on /v/ guys
fuck off to your e celeb or sjw boogieman thread
Any strats for beating the boss on the boat? Felt like I was just getting stunlocked.
holy fuck, the shilling is fucking real.
still downloading it, but god damn.
Any J-horror type enemies? I'm waiting on the game but I love that type of stuff.
>>335622169
>>335622150
>he isn't shilling, he must not want us to talk about games
nice logic there
>>335619920
Getting to the second checkpoint was harder than the entirety of Dark Souls 3 for me. As soon as you see a pair of 2 you are completely fucked. Thats it you cant win.
>>335622004
2 hrs with minimal game over screens and exploring everything. There's one more stage that's another 2 hours.
Any can explain to me what each element does?
Fire: Damage over Time for every hit applied
Water: Ki damage and slower stamina regeneration for every hit applied?
Lightning:???
Wind:???
Earth: Slows down the enemy attack and movement speed
>>335622121
Shit, I thought I was just going somewhere I wasn't supposed to be. Thanks.
Kind of feels like I cheated through the boat boss. Got stuck on dying and re-trying for 20 minutes then finally remembered the triangle circle thing. Used that once the boss hit the 2nd phase and the damage pretty much won the fight for me.
Will definitely go again on a new character if I get time.
Also, that axe spin move fucking sucks god damn I want my skill point back.
>>335622285
you're a fag
>>335622286
you can use a spear for example. that helps. hits more enemies at once if you take care.
>>335622179
After you played it, you will become a free shill too. Assuming you have good taste.
>>335622285
then why do you feel the need to post >hurr shills xD when people are talking about a DEMO that released fucking today
literally kill yourself
>>335621434
>>335621918
>>335622179
>>335622285
We get it
So what make no threads about videogames anymore unless it's shitposting?
>>335622456
Do you expect shitposters to discuss vidya? They come here to shitpost since this is /b/2.0
>>335621118
>6-10 hours
Longer than most AAAs.
Is the Souls formula the new Call of Duty?
>>335622564
anyone having trouble with ki pulse or whatever? iknow that sometimes it speeds up my regeneration or just flat out gives more spirit or whatever, but i don't really get it yet.
>mfw I beat the first boss
>mfw the message pops up that I get the mark of the conqueror from the PS store
Man the items are whack but I'm loving this. Found a hammer with wind damage and using the Shark familiar on the boss was just satisfying. Hope this game is still cool when it releases
>>335621918
Yup. Just gotta filter it, man.I fucking hate this board
>>335622173
After dying a thousand times and wasting hundreds of whetstones with hammer, katana and axe I found out the Spear is easy mode for the boat boss because its so fast to poke and dodge away. All you have to do is time your dodge to the right, hit his back 1 time and back away from his spinning attack. If you have enough stamina you can quickly run back in, hit again and back away but I recommend not getting greedy. Is all about patience for this asshole.
Between I am addicted to finding these little shits. I wonder how many there will be in the final game.
Only complaint is that I'd prefer items with set stats over random loot. I don't completely hate random loot but I think having regular weapons would work better. Also I do kind of wish we could repair weapons at the shrines.
>>335622690
I have no idea of how it works at all. Can somebody explain? I hit R1 after a combo but I dont see anything happening. I just hear the sound.
I love the spears. I hope there will be many more weapon skills to learn in the full game.
>>335622756
Is this game mode or whatever it's called? These graphics are DS2 tier, if not worse.
>>335622779
But random loot is what makes this game fun. You're always looking for new loot instead of having one set build and getting bored with it.
>>335622714
I fear the game will be much easier once it releases. Im seeing people complain left and right that it's wayy too hard because they can't get past the first enemies.
Feels fucking great. Took me 4 hours to finish the first level. Now I am on the second one. And dear god rocks in this game are so much more useful than in DaS because ganks are so much more lethal.
>>335622924
They said in an interview they wanted to make the game hardcore. Would be stupid to nerf it and I would honest to god not buy it anymore.
>>335622924
>I fear the game will be much easier once it releases.
End me. I don't even get how bad can you be to not pass at least to the 2nd shrine. I've even seen people saying they had to grind to get to lvl 10+ before they could move on from the starting area.
>>335622924
That better not happen.
I'll be honest, the first few enemies are rather hard yes, but that's because you're thrown into a game not knowing any mechanic and your only reference is most likely dark souls. When I got to the second shrine and defeated the first oni I finally got a hang of it and the game suddenly changed.
This style of gameplay definitely needs some getting used to but it shouldn't be changed
>>335622919
Action mode only changes resolution, it was supposed to be a PS3 game so i doubt it changed too much since then
>All this shilling posting
Seriously, when was the last time a developer released a demo that:
>Gives you 5-8 hours of playing instead of only 30 minutes
>A option to change between better graphics or performance (Action and Movie mode)
>Free DLC for finishing the demo
They should be applauded. Most devs don't even bother releasing demos these days.
>>335620502
>>335620705
>>335620915
so fuckin true. i'm actually lookin forward more to this game. das3 is just meh. its return of the jedi.
fuck they butchered invasions too.
this game will have those right?
>inspired by onimusha and dark souls
it has to have invasions or some sort of player vs player mechanic
What to think of the story though?
Some of dialog is cool, but is way too short.
>tfw you're a poorfag that can't afford a PS4
>tfw the demo is likely gone when you finally get a PS4 Neo
feels bad man
Game is shit, there are so many problems with it.
First off the lock on system is terrible, and not locking on makes it basically impossible to properly combo and hit enemies. Not being able to do things like strafe backwards while locked on is really bad.
Most of the stances barely do any damage and you have no stamina to take advantage of hitting enemies 800 times. You have no way to really CC enemies. You die in two hits also. Camera is zoomed in so you can't see enemies on screen. Graphics are bad so enemies blend into environment and you can die while in menu because of this because after 3 minutes some random enemy runs up and hits you.
Game feels like it want's to be a proper action game but also be a Souls game and it takes the worst of all worlds.
Dual katana wielding oni is kicking my ass. How do I get gud? I beat the first one but this nigga is faster.
>>335623178
It's a shame it ends May 5th, I'd legit be playing this until the game releases
>I'll say its only because the balance is non-existant.
>I don't expect the finish product to be this difficult, its manageable but yeah it need a lot of balancing.
>Yeah definitely. And the difficulty is probably scaled up so high because of the free DLC they're giving us if we finished it.
Can you even get more casual?
>>335623386
At least you're going straight to the new PS4, unlike the cuckaroos playing this game right now.
>>335623223
Well i am certain that 90%+ people who tried the demo didnt even beat the first boss. Maybe more.
So they don't know, I see more people crying about how hard it is. It's a shame. A real shame.
>>335623389
>I suck so this game is shit
No problem with CC with the correct weapon and stance. You are just a shitter son.
yo so is this out on the us store yet
>>335623389
Only thing I can agree with here is the lock on being kind of weird about strafing. I'm getting used to it but I wish he didn't turn away when you go backwards without holding guard down.
>>335623538
No, it's stupid. The guy comparing it to Ninja Gaiden is retarded because Ryu actually has mobility.
>>335623538
>armor or not you can get one/two shotted by normal enemies
False. leveling up made a huge difference with this. Are people even using the shrines for all the new unlocks you get?
>>335623405
get an axe, high stance it, do 1 hit and dodge. It's what I do for oni's and it just werks
Who is directing this game?
Also
>implying they wont pull a cookie face and make the game harder
>>335623624
Yes
>>335623794
based cookie face
>>335623794
HOLY SHIT IS THAT A TALKING OATMEAL COOKIE?
>I won't invest time into learning the gameplay mechanics or what the items though, so I'll just call the game too difficult
I fucking hate these casuals.
>>335622756
I used the axe in hight stance and used the heaven and earth skill got him to about a third hp and abused the lightning living weapon skill
shooting an arrow at a humans head with no helmet one shots em, if they have a helmet it knocks it off. bow feels useful as fuck
>>335623405
you can use the high stance heavies of any weapon to do huge damage to it real quick or you can use low stance to whittle down its hp and get a stamina break which allows you to do a critical hit and stunlock him.
>>335623794
kou shibusawa is producing it as his last game so he probably has a huge influence on the development of the game. Expect melodramatic cutscenes and a good ost if Kessen 2 and 3 is anything to go by.
The second level is giving me tower of Latria vibes, it's just so fucking good.
>>335624236
I think the difficulty is just right. After I learned how ki/fatigue system worked I made significant progress. Some enemies with specific weapons get tired faster so I just bait or dodge until is low enough and perform finishing moves. Or I just break their blocks with hammer and axe.
>high level revenant and I circling each other
>sliver of health on both of us
>one hit will finish us off
>surge forward
>he blocks
>get ahead of myself
>try to deplete his ki, hoping to break his guard
>he dodges my last attack
>wallops me in the back
>ded
>>335623389
>Most of the stances barely do any damage and you have no stamina to take advantage of hitting enemies 800 times.
High stance one-shot everything for me for the most part. Besides onis and the boss of course
>You have no way to really CC enemies
Hammer spin
Katana Ki burst
>You die in two hits also
Get armour and some levels
>Graphics are bad so enemies blend into environment
Get your eyes checked, these guys are even carrying torches
>and you can die while in menu because of this because after 3 minutes some random enemy runs up and hits you.
Why are you in a menu when there's enemies around
>>335621075
they said they'll port it right after bloodborn
The demo was shit. It was a cheap, shitty, Dark Souls knock-off.
It directly copied the following straight from the Souls games:
>player bloodstains just like Souls
>retrieving your "souls" after dying by going to your bloodstain just like Souls
>gear and weapon system just like Souls
>Multiple stats to level up just like Souls
>stamina bar just like souls
The game is completely mediocre, especially coming from the developers of fucking Ninja Gaiden. They're playing second fiddle here with a cheap off-brand copy of the Souls games.
I mean christ, what an underwhelming game
>enemies die in six hits
>you die in one hit
>8v1 gankfights
>some shitty stamina meter with a breathing heavy animation when you run out in a franchise that is supposed to be about crazy maneuvers, combos, and speed
>tons of mechanics copies directly from Souls
>graphics are shit
This looks like one of those lords of the fallen threads where most of the posts were talking about how much better it was than dark souls
this game will be shit
Hate how you run away when locking on, what is this nonsense? Only get me killed when I want to move back.
>>335624634
it's not from the developpers of ninja gaiden. All of the talent already left. It's no wonder this game is bad
>>335624634
>Dark Souls invented everything.
Fuck off nigger and play some Ominusha.
Retard.
>>335620869
You can also pres X if in low stance and you will dodge and gain it.
>>335624634
>gear and weapon system just like Souls
>Multiple stats to level up just like Souls
>stamina bar just like souls
wow didnt know souls invented these
also git gud
I hope Team Ninja does not pander to these people
This is not very good.
Why play this when we have Dark Souls 3?
They should have just made another Ninja Gaiden.
Also the RPG elements in this are bad, even in Bloodborne the stats were more useful.
>>335624634
>player bloodstains just like Souls
yep. but you can fight those bloodstains, you can't in souls.
>retrieving your "souls" after dying by going to your bloodstain just like Souls
Yep.
>gear and weapon system just like Souls
The loot system is more akin to diablo than souls. Souls doesn't have 3 stances either. 4 if you count the sheathed state, which CAN be used to attack.
>Multiple stats to level up just like Souls
It's an rpg, fuck off
>stamina bar just like souls
And this time enemies have it too, making it better
>enemies die in six hits
wrong
>you die in one hit
also wrong
>8v1 gankfights
correct if you're an idiot
>some shitty stamina meter with a breathing heavy animation when you run out in a franchise that is supposed to be about crazy maneuvers, combos, and speed
you're being silly now
>tons of mechanics copies directly from Souls
yep. and improved in some ways too
>graphics are shit
nah
in conclusion: fuck you faggot
>>335624913
>Why play this when we have Dark Souls 3?
Because some people want a challenge in video games and not a easy cakewalk? Nioh also is new while Dark Souls 3 is a braindead rehash of Dark Souls
>>335624640
lords of the fallen is 0/10 this game is 8.5-9.5/10. Kill yourself you poorfag.
Dumb das shills coming in full force because they know their flavor-of-the-month game will finally be irrelevant once Ni-oh comes out.
>>335624770
the devs themselves admitted this was a souls like
just give up
>>335625040
>the previous souls ripoff was shit
>b-but this one is good I swear
every single time
>>335624770
Kek, are you actually implying that multiple core gameplay mechanics weren't ripped directly from Souls?
The demo description in the store even fucking starts off with "Ready to die?" They're just riding the wave of Souls popularity to attract underage memespouters just like Lords of the Fallen and Salt and Sanctuary
>>335624634
>souls
>souls
>souls
>souls
we get it you like it
>>335624640
Lords of the Fallen always had negative reception from /v/ because it was western.
>>335622121
holy fuck you can look badass in this game
I just suck so bad that I can barely make it past the first campy area
>>335624745
Yeah, real talent
>>335625278
it was also terrible
>>335624913
>Why play this when we have Dark Souls 3?
Because I beat DaS3 already and I've been looking forward to this game for a while now. Both games are great. Don't be a faggot and try and pick sides. I like DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Onimusha, and Nioh as well. I don't know why fags always gotta fag.
>>335624886
It gets much easier when you find real armor, damn reddit shitters.
>>335625278
It was also shit, I tried to like it. But it controlled like ass and felt like ass to play.
>>335625179
>shit game made by no name studio that won't even be making the 2nd game in the series as the publisher took it away from them
>game from team ninja which is clearly fantastic and more like onimusha meets ninja gaiden than anything related to souls
(you)
No need to swear anything, everyone who is not poor can go and play the free demo right now and see that its GOAT. Stay butthurt you little shitposter, meanwhile I ll play it some more.
>>335624913
>They should have just made another Ninja Gaiden.
After Shit Gaiden 3? Are you retarded son? Who the fuck wants another one after that blunder?
>tfw you like both games and you cant talk about this game with DaS fanboys and DaS haters constantly flinging shit at each other, just like Bloodborne threads
Fun as fuck demo, Post e'm.
>>335624983
>>enemies die in six hits
>wrong
Yes they fucking do. Even with strong attacks it takes 4-5 hits to kill them, while 1 (ONE) enemy strong attack kills you.
>>you die in one hit
>also wrong
see above
>>8v1 gankfights
>correct if you're an idiot
Let me guess, you're supposed to lure the enemies out one by one? Yeah real great game design and real impressive AI there.
Christ you're a fucking retard man

>>335625395
>modern team ninja
>fantastic
you people are hilarious
>>335625404
to be fair they fixed some of it with razor's edge.
If nothing else it shows that they MIGHT get their shit together with a 4th entry
>>335624983
>And this time enemies have it too, making it better
This is probably my favorite thing about this game, it makes fights feel fair in a way
What the fuck????? Where can I level up stamina???? What a fucking shit game!
>Honestly, it feels like Dark Souls but clunkier with artificial difficulty.
>artificial difficulty
I'm fucking done. I just hope the devs won't listen to these fucks.
>>335625485
I do 1800 dmg per attack, git gud faggot.
Enemies take like 8 attacks to kill me except for the final boss which takes like 2-3 attacks. Leveling up and not having no gear on helps. Fucking retard.
>how dare the game asks me to lure enemies out when I am not able to fight 2-3 at a time
well I was able to beat 3 at a time without a lot of issues, git gud you literal downie.
Damn this is better than I expected.
My only complain is the lock-on awkward as hell if you are not guarding.
>>335625725
How blind are you
What's magic like? Does the demo even let you use any?
>>335624886
>Reddit soulsbabbies getting BTFO by an actual difficult game
Loving every laugh
>>335625485
I can kill most enemies with 2-3 hits with my axe and I take 5-6 hits to die. You clearly didnt get past the first 5 guys and came here to rage like a humongous shitter kek.
>>335625543
The game is fantastic, I do not give a shit about modern team ninja but this game is very good and there is nothing that you can say to change this objective fact. You are probably just unable to read. Fantastic refers to this game, not to team ninja.
Oh well another community ruined by, le git gud meme
>>335625781
I tried leveling up stamina but it does not do shit to my bar!!!! What the fuck is this crap game??? Fucking Japs, we should drop another nuke
>>335619920
>Samurai guys seem to not care that they have no stamina
>Sword's durability is 4
>Spear's durability is 1
>No more whetstones
>Can't kill regular enemies anymore
Nice game
>>335625485
>Yes they fucking do. Even with strong attacks it takes 4-5 hits to kill them, while 1 (ONE) enemy strong attack kills you.
Ok, let me reiterate. Some take more than a few strikes to down. It's not the norm, which i assumed was your point.
>see above
The only place i died outright without a chance was against one of the bigger onis where i got caught up in what's best described as a storm of blades. Was the ninja dude or whatever the fuck, and even then that was more than one strike. You're starting to act like you went in with no armour or anything at all, tried to kill something and got raped, then blaming the game.
>Let me guess, you're supposed to lure the enemies out one by one? Yeah real great game design and real impressive AI there.
The most you fight at once (where you HAVE to attract someone) is 4. They can be managed with a spear for example. Also you can use a bow to thin their numbers as well.
>hurr retard
sure.
How do I properly fight this boat boss? I can get him to about 1/4 of his hp down.
>>335619920
Currently downloading it and I'm excited as hell for it.
The little bit of gameplay I saw gave me an Onimusha/Ninja Gaiden feel.
Can't wait.
>>335625742
You fight with an overpowered weapon and still tell people to git gud?
>>335625573
>stunlock huge fuckin oni
>it cannot do jackshit and dies while you wack it over and over
>stunlock nue
>activate shark demon mode
>literally kill it by mashing square over and over as it cannot get its stamina back up
feels good man
>>335625368
The game shouldn't have armor in the first fucking place. Or upgradeable stats, or bloodstains, or PvP, or a stamina bar, or a slow combat system for that matter.
It's not a fucking Souls game.
Ninja Gaiden was appealing due to it's fast and fluid combat with tons of attack options, combos, and multiple weapons that excelled in different ways.
Now they're trying to mimic Souls and they slowed down and dumbed down the combat and added all this extra skinner box nonsense.
>>335625964
it's not like the faggot got it from the start, he was obviously building up to that point. Idiot.
>>335625919
How do you fuck up this badly? You can fart and 6 new swords will pop out for you to switch. The amount of loot is retarded high like in Borderlands.
>>335625964
(you)
>>335625804
you can kill the cyclops in 2 fire shurikens. its goat. there is also caltrops, weapon buffing and so on.

how do i kill those two after the first initial enemy. halberd fucker kills me in one hit
>>335625741
He's right.
The movement feels floaty like Dark Shit 2.
This whole game feels like they are trying to copy souls, without knowing what makes them work.
Is this how the combat in Souls game is? Because it feels fucking clunky.
>>335625919
>not parrying enemies
>>335625742
Not that dude but a lot of the complaints are how the early game difficulty of the demo is tuned too rough. I don't care that you lucked out and got fantastic gear, until that point you are in for a very rough time in 3v1's or even 2v1s until you get it.
>>335626075
(you)
>>335625935
get to under 30% equip load and just dodge everything. It is actually pretty easy as he only has like 5 moves.
>>335625741
There's literally nothing wrong with what he said. It shouldn't take one hit to kill you as a skilled samurai when these unskilled schmucks take 4+ hits to kill. It's just fucking stupid.
In the Ninja Gaiden games, you and the enemies die in about the same number of hits.
>>335626019
I have pants for days, but not a single weapon has dropped for me since the beginning of the demo.
Exploring was a mistake since Samurai dudes are more and more frequent and thus made my durability go to shit.
>>335626107
>implying hitting them doesn't wear down your weapon
>>335625935
Use Isonade. He's the boss beating familiar basically.
I'm fucking scared they are gonna lower the difficulty for the full game
>>335619920
where is this on ps plus? i search i go to n then i then theres no o, it just goes n->p
>>335626102
It's actually worse, aside from Bloodborne which is about this good, more or less.
>>335626102
Nope.
Play something like Bloodborne or Ninja Gaiden Black, then come back to play this.
It is almost laughable how bad it controls and feels.
>>335626018
You can do 1600 dmg barehanded actually, fuckin kek.
>>335626184
You do not need to hit them to parry you dimwit.
>>335626084
That's what I thought as well. This game is basically a worse Dark Souls 2
>>335625742
I do 2400 dmg per hit and take almost no damage because i found the best armor ever, git gud.
Fighting with bad weapons? PFF easy
I play with overpowered gear! That's what it takes to be gud
>>335626209
It in the free section
>>335626228
>PCuck feels the need to jump into every PS4 exclusive thread to shitpost
Going from DS3 to this is suffering
I've died more times in this demo then all of DS3
>>335626084
After playing Dark Souls 3, I don't think even From know what makes a Souls game work anymore.
>>335626263
>You do not need to hit them to parry you dimwit.
No shit nigger, but that is not the problem i'm having.
>>335625927
>Some take more than a few strikes to down. It's not the norm
It is the norm for most of the stage until the RNG hopefully decides to give you decent armor and weapons.
>>335626102
No. The combat is almost as bad as this in Dark Souls 2 though
>>335624634
>stamina bar just like souls
You're stupid nigga, look at Monster Hunter
>>335626114
>Lucked out
I beat the final boss for that gear you dimwit. Before I beat him I had a weapon with just 30 attack less already. You never have to fight more than 1 vs 1 actually as there is stones and even 4 vs 1 is completly manageable as well with the tools the game gives you or just swinging your katana and dodging. Or throwing bombs. Or throwing shurikens and caltrops. Or headshooting with a bow. git gud.
>>335626157
And yet another fucking mechanic they copied directly from Souls.
Team Ninja has made two of my favorite games of all times, but they can fuck off and go bankrupt for all I care. This is just pitiful. It's like they don't have one original thought in their whole fucking team.
>>335626301
I have the damn demo. It's fun. It's good. It's not great. It's about as good as Bloodborne. ARPGs have shit combat, get over it
Want good combat? Play Cuhrayzee
>>335626175
>It shouldn't take one hit to kill you
But they don't kill you in one hit, unless you're a fucking idiot who didn't even equip armor. Most normal enemies take 4-6 hits to kill me.
How did all of these random shit-farmers on a shore get better swords than a rich white man?
>>335626175
It does not take 1 hit to kill you though, 100% pure bullshit. Before facing the first boss I was 2 shotting the basic enemies already.
>>335625485
>while 1 (ONE) enemy strong attack kills you.
There is a block button retard. Use it.
>>335619920
Wait, does the game seriously expects me to have chameleon yes and have it on both my stamina bar for when to hit R1 and watching the fucking fight at the same time?
Christ, mang
>>335626519
Not him, but I've literally died to the first enemy in 1 hit.
>>335626450
>PCuck and a CUHRAAAAYZEEE fag
End yourself
>>335625741
This guy's right. TN needs to stick to their strengths and fuck off with this loot bullshit, and skinner box leveling nonsense.
t. beat the Ninja Gaiden games on MNM
>>335626519
>>335626452
What game are you playing? I've been one-shot by every enemy on the shoreline.
>people would rather cry how hard it is and give up instead of learning through trial and error
What a disaster modern gamers are.
>>335626360
was never underpowered for the entire stage. gonna call that just luck? good grief.
>>335626564
in the beginning? 'cause sure, at the very start before you get anything you're vulnerable as all fuck
>>335626279
(you)
>>335626330
>I do not want to win the fight bare-handed I have mental issues and want to hit them with my sword for 200 dmg instead.
ok do that instead. I actually beat the game without using a single parry. Enemies drop gear like borderlands so not sure what your issue is exactly? Bad luck? Too dumb to kill some basic mooks when you can do it bare handed and find another 3 weapons?
>>335626690
Eating a bowl of shit is pretty difficult too. Why would I muster through it instead of just going and playing a good video game?
Why doesn't Geralt target the enemy that i have a lock on? More than once the retard will swing past an enemy that is standing still, what the fuck.
>>335626690
Sorry you had better luck than me and got decent gear. I should have gotten good with the rng.
>>335626651
Ni-Oh. I dunno what game are you playing. The enemies on the shore killed me in 2 hits. When I got armor, though, they take 4-6 hits to kill me like I said.
>>335620502
Not even meming but so am I. I think this is the same ordeal as Bloodborne, its taken the groundwork Souls has laid and done something interesting with it, weve all played DaS to death, its nice to have something that changes a bit. Going back to DaS3 after playing this is a fucking snoozefest, the combat in both games are worlds apart.
>>335626651
They're just drones who haven't even played but feel the need to defend any Sony exclusive. I made an Australian account just to download it, played it 30 minutes, and uninstalled it. Went from being my most anticipated title of 2016 to zero hype whatsoever, and I doubt I'll even buy it on sale.
>keep reading posts saying it's much harder than DS3

>it's piss easy
These threads are absolute nonsense
>>335626434
>dark souls invented weapon and armour weight
ok
>>335626564
>>335626651
the one where you take double dmg when you get hit in the back. fucking casuals.
The game is not that easy and some enemies deal huge damage, but pretty much no encounter took more than 2 tries except for the bosses.
You have to learn from mistakes, take your time and use the weapons the game gives you. I don't think it's a game you are supposed to run through in one try
>>335626513
If you finish the stage you can read the opening for it. William is just someone looking for money, cause he was told that Zipangu is the land of gold.
>>335626824
>I am bad so the game is to blame
fuckin kek. Want me to post screenshots? git gud you little casual scrub shitter.
post yfw on May 5th you boot up the demo it just says one thing:NIOH was a working title, thank you for playing DAIKATANA 2. Everyone that complained about the difficulty - we made it even harder. Suck it down this holiday season, exclusively on Playstation 4. - John Romero

I could maybe believe this if it also didn't also have you picking up your "souls" off your bloodstain where you died before, other player bloodstains, a stamina bar, a weapon and gear system just like Souls, a level up systen just like Soul, and the tagline "Ready to die?"
>>335627021
there is 2 full levels.
So everyone tripping over themselves to defend this shit, why would I play this copycat game over an actual Souls or Bloodborne game?
>>335626981
Probably not many other weapon types, but a few more areas, we already saw caves and shit from trailers
>>335627059

>tfw taking increased damage if you're hit on your backside
ARTIFICIAL DIFFICULTY
>>335627065
Unfortunately, not an instant kill.
>>335627024
I'm convinced it's just shilling at this point. All the posts about DS3 being "disappointing" or "too easy" compared to this basically give it away, the exact same thing happened with lords of the fallen.
I guess that's how they lure retards into playing this garbage
>>335627098
Odd concept im sure, but you can enjoy all three of them. BB is my favorite game doesnt mean I dont like to switch it up with some Das 3 and siege though.
>>335627096
>souls invented stamina bars and weapons and level ups
It is time to stop posting champ. Painfully underage and retarded. Next you ll tell me souls invented swinging your weapon to attack an enemy or rpg mechanics.
>>335627065
FUCKING DELETE THIS. YOU CAN'T KILL ENEMIES IN 1 HIT. ITS LITERALLY ARTIFICIAL DIFFICULTY!
>>335626846
It's the exact same number though lmao
This game's bad. The controls feel as though they were remapped just so they could say they didn't copy it directly from Dark Souls, the weapon balance is fucked from the jump (there's no reason to use a sword if you have a spear) and the combat itself just feels muddled and clunky. It feels like if Dark Souls came out on PS1 and the devs were still trying to get the hang of 3D movement.
>>335624658
Yea the lock on really fuck up, only the camera facing the enemy basically not your character, you may miss the attack even you lock it on but your character not facing the right way.

>>335627209
This game stole more directly from the Souls games than Salt and Sanctuary and Lords of Fallen did. I never said Souls invented these, but it sure is some fucking coincidence that every major mechanic in Souls is also in Ni-Oh.
Been playing for about four hours now, non-stop. Feeling kind of pansy shit for taking it so slow, but whatever.
Managed to reach the burning village, but really need to take a breather and go to sleep now.
Seems really fucking amazing though, and basically is a dream come true for a Souls+weeb fag like me.
Not sure if you can save your progress in the demo, so just gonna sleep mode my PS4 for the night.

This game is neither a good souls type game nor a good ninja gaiden type action game. Watered down trash
>>335626743
I am pretty fucking sure the game wasn't meant for you to just hand parry everyone
It's gonna be great how all these "git gud" faggots are gonna be salty once the actual game is made easier.
>>335621918
how fucking stupid is this board? If you talk about a game in any positive way its considered "shilling" like what? I thought this shit was about video games, not just constantly talking shit about everything. Fuckin' kill yourself faggot.
>>335627414
Well, it's basicly the broken sword from Dark Souls, but still way stronger. The first enemy already drops better weapons and armor
The hardest part about this game is getting to the spear so you can kill 5 men without paying attention to your stamina bar anymore
>>335627617
You mean at some random point when the rng finally graces you with something good.
>>335627686
Exactly, it's its own thing drawing inspiration from Souls and Onimusha.
The problem isn't that the game is hard. It isn't hard. Once you have the spear the game is a cakewalk.
It's just back. It plays like a chinese knockoff of Dark Souls.
>>335627721
Agreed. Then maybe I'll finally get past the beach.
>>335627719
who gives a shit? Also enemies drop shitloads of weapons anyways. I have 10 whetstones and all my weapons are fully maintained. git gud. you have to die 20 times to the first enemy to have issues like this.
>>335626940
Only for Germany
>>335627721
The game is already piss easy as soon as you get any decent gear
Actually far easier than DS3 even
>>335627839
*bad ;)
Alright /v/ what's the next game we shit on?Has there been a single game this year /v/ hasn't shit on?
>>335627781
I was 2 hitting enemies before even facing the first boss.
List of mechanics Nioh has ripped directly from Souls:
>different rolls and speeds at weight thresholds
>picking up your "souls" off your bloodstain where you died previously
>other player bloodstains
>stamina bar
>weapon and gear system just like Souls
>level up system just like Souls
>weapon degradation (which has no place in a game like this)
>bonfi- I mean "shrines"
>estus fla- I mean elixers that refill at the "shrines"
>the tagline "Ready to die?"
How does the guardian spirit mode work? Do you just do more damage with the fancy weapon, if you get combos in can you extend the duration of the buff?
>>335627849
>rng doesnt give me weapons or whetstones
>git gud :^)
Congrats, Ni-Oh already has cancer for a community in less than 24 hours
I'm the biggest scrub at videogames and souls and yet no encounter took me more than 2 or 3 tries. You find new weapons all over the place and you're fast as fuck. Just play it like your HP actually matters
>>335627939
Well me and a lot of other people weren't, so good job getting lucky I guess?
>>335626940
it's not
Of all the fucking shit they had to rip off from Dark Souls, did they have to go with the insanely small text too?
>>335627978
You go super-saiyen with your weapon until your bar runs out. Taking damage takes a huge chunk outta the bar so you'll want to wait until bosses have 0 stamina so you can stunlock and do massive damage.
Good thing these guys released a demo. It might have actually sold well had they not. Just like W101.
>>335627934
Looking through this year's games and I honestly think the Ni-Oh demo is the least shitty. I was fully expecting this game to be bad.
>>335627978
They're elemental so maybe there're different kind of areas in the game that require water spirits and shit, you also can't really die in that mode

You just had extremely low expectations then. The game is bad but you imagined some kind of unplayable monstrosity and this somehow looks good to you now
Is it a good or a bad thing that the souls "community" doesn't really like the game for now?

>>335628464
That's the exact opposite of what I'm saying you idiot. Souls took tons of mechanics from hundreds of games, changed them quite a bit, and added tons of their own unique mechanics to make a great game. Team Ninja took all the mechanics directly from Souls games, and then added some retarded shit like spirit animals and stances so it wasn't exactly the same they couldn't be sued for copyright.
Bloodborne is more different from the Souls games than Nioh is.
>>335628828
depends on your build and equip. How should I know which gear dropped for you and if you want to go heavy armour or use nin jutsu?
Is this a limited demo or something? Just bought a PS4, but I'm deep in Bloodborne. No other game will touch my PS4 until it's 100% completed.

>>335628837
Could be, but the group that calls themselfs community has certainly changed except for exclusive games like BB or DeS. DeS threads are rare, but when they happen they're great. But since the Preparre to Die Edition came out and the whole git gud and praise the sun shit gout out of control i just don't know who actually likes or hates or is just trolling.
And i don't just blame the PC players, but it certainly happened during the PC release

>>335628226
When I first started I was getting my shit kicked in, I just kept summoning those bloodstain things on the beach and practicing. The problem was that I wasnt doing the R1 to get back stamina after attacking, and dont just constantly hold block it stops stamina gain completely, only do it to actually block an attack. Walk when moving during a fight, dont run and expose your back, you have to be patient which means you cant run in and spam light attacks as the enemy either blocks it which will drain more stamina and leave you exposed or they manage to get a hit in on you. The combat is actually fucking great once youve learned how it works, its not exactly a difficult game but it is definitely punishing.
>>335622924
There'll probably be a ninja dog like mode somewhere in the game. Easier but with a cosmetic difference to insult the player.

I guess that's who they're catering to. Guess we'll never get a good Ninja Gaiden sequel and will instead get a shitty Souls knockoff
I'm finally getting gud, but only cause I'm using spears and not a sword. But I still can't handle more than 1 enemy at a time. I'm trying to make it over to the boat at the moment. I'm level 15 or so and enemies still do insane damage. I guess I need to start farming dead players.
I wish there was an NPC or something you could buy stuff from, I hate having to rely on drops for arrows.
I hope the full game will have a lot more enemy and enviroment variety

Nioh was in development hell until dark souls conveniently came out and they realized they could basically copy it actually. It's absolutely nothing like what it started as so saying it started in 2004 is irrelevant
>>335629140
Demos are rarely this big.
>>335629286
PC port
>>335628394
There are way more people trying to summon than people making themselves summonable. I got matched into a game instantly, but the host was afk,so I pushed him into the sea and drowned him.
Can you get more permanent Elixirs?
Does anyone else like how more... calculated this feels? Maybe it's because I'm not used to the game but while fighting oni I don't feel like I can get super aggressive and just hug them like any souls game. I actually have to back off and try and gets hits in on the defensive.
>>335629286
PC release of Dark Souls and i'm not talking about PC palyers only, it's just aorund that time when all the memes and hate got out of control
>>335629207
Did you never play Ninja Gaiden 3? You dont want another Ninja Gaiden.
The game literally had auto aim. Think about that.
It's out? That's good then guess I'll play it before it expires.

you forgot "has colors"

>being this retarded
Why is the combat so slow?
>>335620996
Till May 6, play it now.
>>335629286
>>335629354
Exact moment, Souls threads used to be 50% lore, 50% builds.
>>335629068
You need 10/12 spirit to get the most out of your spirital animal of choice. Ninjutsu is OP so get like 11/12 when you can (eventually do not start dumping into it right away). Once you start finding gear that requires stats that you do not have yet, start working towards it. You will end up with more or less 10-12 in every stat eventually. Or you can specialize and potentially miss out on some stuff if you want that.
>>335629207
I dont watch that anime by the way, its a funny gif, is that alright with you? I bet you commented in this thread calling people shills too, loser
>>335629421
probably because you're not experienced at the game
shocking I know
And I guess this game will be stuck on just one system right?
>>335629452
There is no waifus in this game aceman
Go shit up another thread
>This thread
If the PCucks are already in shitposting mode this game seems to be good. Downloading now.
You can't fool anyone btw
>>335629591
Yes and i doubt without Sony it would've ever been released
>>335629594
>Implying.
I wanted to play this for a while. Waifus have nothing to do with it.
Are there seriously retards that argue that Dark Souls invented shit like having to go back to your corpse to recover stuff or weapons degradation? I hope I'm being rused
I ve uploaded a few vids to youtube where I die in getting hit like 12 times and kill enemies in 2 hits. Anyone interested or were people just pretending to be retarded?
>>335629743
Runescape was just copying darksouls
are people in this thread seriously in denial about this game being similar to dark souls? that's hilarious
High stance = big damage but only useful against 1v1
Low stance = low damage but good against crowds
What are the advantages of the middle stance?
>high stance: slow but heavy attacks
>mid stance: balanced speed and attacks
>low stance: fast but weak attacks
>no shealth stance, it's just there to keep the weapons
>can't roleplay as Kenshin
Fuck you game
The demo is not on PC? Who gives a fuck about PSN
>>335629816
Don-t forget about that shitty copycat that was Diablo
I wish people who cleared both missions got a permanent demo to keep, I'm gonna be sad when I have to say bye on May 6; when does the game release?
Is there a way to get more than 3 elixirs when you rest at a shrine?
I'm super shit and need a crutch. Just beat Yoki or whatever the fuck to open the residence gate.
>>335629886
Does everything on an average level
>no armor
>weapon is degraded
>die in one hit
>enemies take 10+
Fucking retarded demo.
What's the fastest way to get from the shrine to the boat boss?
>>335629890
there is a unsheath special move.
>get to the second zone
>barely make it past ninjas and bomb throwing zombies
>next spot has, like, 10 fucking onis patrolling it
>shortcut has an oni right on top of it
>no invulnerability on opening animation
Fuck it. I give uptill tomorrowShit is worse than doing 4-1 and 5-1 for the first time in your life.
>>335629890
because you're not Kenshin, you're William.
>>335629886
good vs all, good vs crowds, good vs single enemies and good for countering. It is the all-rounder and you should be able to figure this out on your own m8. Also there is unique techniques and combos for each stance so there is that. IAI is not available in heavy for example and its goat.
>>335629956
If you offer shit to the shrine you have chances to get Elixirs.
Just offer everything that is worse than your current gear.
I got up to 10 at one point
>>335629890
There's a quickdraw attack, it refills your stamina if you get into position at the right time during or after a combo; no Vergil styles though, most unfortunate.
>>335629956
donate items at shrine and you can randomly get healing and repair items.
>>335629421
I know what you mean and I love it. I am constantly changing stances and weapons to suit situations.
This game shits on souls so fucking hard. It's like playing Quake for the first time after years of doom clones.
But its far from perfect. My biggest complaint is that your character does not track enemies properly. Sometimes it turns into a clusterfuck of misses even if you are facing them directly.
I don't like the faggy diablo item system either.
>>335629886
Its middle of the road. I prefer it in 1v1, if I can catch enemies in a combo then I swap to high stance and hit them while their recovering.
>>335629748
post it
This is the most obvious shill ever. Game looks great but they even put a link to a form to fill after you play it lol. I'm literally about to jump on the ps4 fanboy train because fuck you faggots I actually wanna play bloodborne and now this.
How do you get summoned?
>>335629886
Axe High is great for crowds too. Just funnel them and fuck them up with single swings.
>>335630209
this post is cringeworthy
>>335630209
You have to walk when in combat, it keeps you facing the enemy. Go try it, it feels much better once you resist the urge to run around and stay calm.
Can i do anything with money in this game?
>>335629909
Of course it's on steam. Best platform man
>>335630258
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mInybAJmPMo at the beginning I show blocking which prevents you dying indefinately.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-_0jsRmRLA here you can see a basic mook dying in two hits in the 2nd level. Uploading one right now where I do the same 2 hit kill with middle stance instead of high stance.
>>335630132
I'm dying in one hit, they're dying in five. Why the fuck would I care about some other anon powerleveling through the beginning?
>>335630209
Will it is a beta so you can always fill the form in the OPs link and tell them about it
>>335629886
Stances also have unique move sets. Katana mid for example has a nice parry and a kick while high has that anime charge attack.
>>335630003
You need to find a path around the groups of enemies and oni. The game is way more stealth based than a Souls game.
>>335630432
You can buy boni like +5% at the shrine
But maybe the full game will have actual villages and friendly NPC, i hope so, i don't just want to kill things
>>335630486
I did not powerlevel I just played it like it was intended. No cheating no summoning no dirty tricks. Stop making up shit and git gud.
>>335629886
>>335629890
Mid Stance is best for blocking and parrying.
https://twitter.com/OriginalRainjar/status/725021892319567872
Is he right?
>>335628540
I'm trying not to point fingers, but right after it released in the US.
>>335630676
You got good armor through RNG. When you start you have jack shit.
I wanted something comparable to Souls, not this trash.
This game is such a blatant fucking ripoff it's not even funny. This thread is nothing but shills and viral marketers.
mfw these scrubs getting one hit are the same people who dont know about getting hit in the back increase damage several times
basically people getting one shot are people who ran like a bitch
>>335630484
This is cherry picking at it's finest.
Instead of testing the first video against one of the weakest enemies in the game, go block against a guy in full armor or an Oni.
Second video is you in Heavy stance hitting the weakest enemy in the back which gives extra damage.
>>335630769
no you are again making shit up with baseless assumptions. I could play naked and never git hit anyways. git gud lying shitter.
>>335630730
Fucking this. Threads last night were great. I downloaded it off the JP PSN and was having a blast playing it and discussing it with other anons. Pops up on US PSN and suddenly nothing but shit posting. Coincidence?
>OPTION SET THE FRAMERATE HIGHER BUT THE GRAPHICS LOWER
WHY . THE FUCK . DON'T MORE DEVELOPERS DO THIS.
>>335630886
They dont know a block button exists either and it takes like 10 seconds to get an armor so you dont die in 1 hit. You dont even need good armor you just need a piece or two to not die so fast.
>>335629485
Pretty sure he was just being sarcastic, you idiot.
So the only complains that people have are
>it's too much like dark souls
>it's not DS enough
>it's too hard
?
>>335620502
Any one who played Bloodborne knows DaS3 was shit. Only PCucks are praising it because they never got a legit sequel to DaS1.
>>335630913
>it doesn't count
ok I ll post one with middle stance for you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaY0E4ySDbE
2 hits dead.
also here is one with actually heavy armour:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNCP8ciKcLI
I can block some onis now if you want, but those die in 2 shurikens so not sure why its needed anyways.
>>335631032
I've died a bunch of times to some enemy that came from no where as I was dealing with another.
It's no different than any other souls game where you need to learn enemy placement before you can actually make progress.
>>335631119
DS3 is better than bloodborne
Gameplay is slow and clumsy. Loot system is annoying. Getting knocked down over the slightest hit and then getting axed while down is idiotic. Graphics are shit (DF said action mode runs at 600p). Camera system is ass. Stamina meter is fucking stupid. Leveling up stats has no place in a TN game. Mechanics are poorly (or rather not even at all) explained.
Cool that you all are enjoying it, but this is probably one of the biggest disappointments in a while as I was really looking forward to it. Hope it bombs.
>>335631119
literally platted BB and think DaS3 is better
fuck off you platform warrio
Is there some way to dodge an attack and still be in range to attack an enemy's back? Seems I dodge and I'm super far away and they turn around before I get to them.
gameplay is clunky as fuck
>>335631073
play it for yourself, form your own opinion. You know how this board is when it comes to actually enjoying something.
>>335624436
>Kou is retiring after 30 years of games
Damn I loved his strategy series of Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, as well as Kessen.
Shame to see him retire.
>>335631134
>ok I ll post one with middle stance for you:
You're literally using a special move.
>still testing versus weakest enemy in second stage.
>>335631134
How the fuck do you get that armor? My guy is wearing some fucking tatters and the game expects me to kill 3+ enemies at once when I die in one hit and they die in 7-8
And really that video also displays the shitty AI of the game
>>335631073
Just play it. This shithole is addicted to shitposting about games they have never played. Remember all the shitposting DaS3 got and most of them were all lies?
>>335631249
Platted both DS3 and BB and i think BB is better, DS3 is far from bad, but it just tries too hard to be DeS and DS1 to the point where it just rips items from DeS and shit. It's Dark Souls Greatest Hits Edition.
Just my opinion so don't tkae it too hard
>>335631425
The boat boss drops it.
Excited to see how much this game changes from alpha to finished product. Has great potential and I am really liking it so far.
>>335631396
>stop using special moves
you forgot to mention that I hit him in the back as well. I guess you do not want to be proven wrong, its ok kid. Btw I ve killed him unarmed in 1 parry as well. On my way to stronger enemies right now.
>>335631425
Just kill people and it will drop eventually. I got full warlord shit after 30-90 minutes by just playing.
>>335631450
don't care about your opinion, fag
just saying that not everyone who played BB thinks it's the best souls game, so don't speak for us
>>335631376
>>335631320
I did and i don't get any of the complains.
It's definitely not too hard, i dont why people expect a game that you can just rush through. It's a lot like Dark Souls, but its also a lot like other games, if you play it like your typical souls game you'll die infinitely unless you grind OP gear. I don't get what they want, if it's exactly like Dark Souls they'd just hate it because it's a straight ripoff and when it's a mix of things like it is not + it's own mechanics people hate it because it's not like Dark Souls or whatever game they wanted for some reason. It's not like Dark Souls 3 doesn't exist anymore, they can easily go play that game
>>335631587
don't feel like grinding for loot in a Ninja Gaiden game with weapon degradation.
Uninstalled.
>>335631562
Rumors say release date is October. Thats a lot of time for improvement. I just hope they dont make it easier.
>people comparing this shit to BB
BB and mentality behind it is literally the opposite of what Nioh is. BB is the mashiest game in the series thanks to the health regen and Nioh DEMANDS you to put your ass down and treat every enemy slowly.
If anything it is most comparable to DeS with it's almost complete lack of any sort of poise, godlike parries and punishing healing mechanics.
>>335631562
I am telling everyone on Twitter to vote and say that it's too hard. So expect the enemies to get toned down a bit.
You're welcome.
I feel the difficulty is at a 9 and it should be at a 7.5
>>335631589
I never spoke for anyone, but me.
Why would anyone care about your opinion, don't speak for others
How to grind for whetstones/glue?
Second boss is kicking my ass.
>>335631587
You're posting shitty videos that are inconsistent in your testing.
From your response as well I can tell you're literally 12 years old.
>>335631216
>getting knocked over
Right there. Thats how I can tell youre just spamming attacks with reckless abandon or hammering the dodge button. Getting tripped only happens when you run out of stamina AND THEN try to attack or dodge when you have no stamina to do it, this is literally the only way this happens. The enemies arent doing this to you, YOU are doing this.
>>335631376
Get rekt pcfuck
>>335631891
Most of /v/ doesnt own a PS3 and never played DeS so now you know why the non stop shitposting. Its mostly PCucks as always.
>>335631891
>godlike parries
There's no riposte, thank fuck.
>tfw you weren't paying attention to your health and lost 8k exp because of it
feels bad. that's what i get for watching dragon ball at the same time.
Hmmm, I haven't found any whetstones yet. This thread makes it sound like you're supposed to be drowning in them. I haven't made it very far, I just got the spear.
>>335632096
Check your equipment, some armor pieces have +5% item drop rate and shit
>>335619920
I like that you can fight others deaths
>>335631935
No need to project so hard kiddo. You are wrong and cannot disprove anything that was said. Not only do you backpedal and change goalposts in every single post but you also have to resort to pathetic ad hom attacks as if those would somehow make you look less stupid. top fuckin kek. uploading a vid right now where I block 3 full combos of an oni btw. elite mooks take 4 hits to kill in the 2nd area and 2 hits for the cyclops. git gud.
>>335622564
(you)
>>335631963
The game shouldn't have a stamina bar
>>335619920
You're pathetic, you autist. Kill yourself.
>>335630769
You have to activate those red tombs with the yellow aura to get good equipment.
>>335632230
Then you'd be invincible
>>335619920
I usually don't get carried away like this, but from what I've been playing so far this game may very well be the game that I've been praying for.
>Super rewarding timing based combat
>Deep and varied skillsets
>Parries and counters
>Samurais
>Random Loot
All that,s missing is sezy tittie monsters and It's perfect.
TEAM NINJA IS BACK BABY
>>335631891
The parries are so audibly and visually satisfying in this game
>>335632016
>There's no riposte
>having your second slot empty and parrying shit with left-L1-triangle for an instant kill.
Look at this pussy. I bet he doesn't wavedash in his games too.
>>335632230
Explain your reasoning.
wait wasnt this an xbox 1.0 game? what am i thinking of?
you went into villages in like feudal japan and killed demons.
>>335631892
wtf the game is already too easy
there's no way it'll be good now
>>335630769
>Your character starts weak and you need to grow stronger to not die so fast and deal more damage!
Woah is like, is like if this was a video game.
>>335632096
Git gud.
>swimming in weapons and armors
It's such a pain, time give everything.
>>335632182
Okay, I'll do that. I'm finding plenty of extra armor, just hardly any usable items.
>>335624634
No one cares.
So is this game more like Souls or Ninja Gaiden?
>>335632096
There is no NPC in the demo to repair but plenty of loot to keep changing weapons.
>>335632249
Wew lad
>>335632490
>AU, JP and EU demo was out
>threads were nice and discussed the game in a calm manner
>US demo comes out
>shitposting galore
What went wrong?
I was wondering what the big deal was, but it's just a Souls game. It's okay, but not something I'd get one day one.
>>335632576
Many things, looks like Souls but faster when someone is playing it, but if you just play it like a souls game you'll die right away
>>335632576
It tries to be both and fails
>>335632576
It's like Souls. Not nearly as fast or as technical as Ninja Gaiden.
>>335632321
>there's parry
Really how? Block just when enemy attack? Just started the demo so this is useful to me.
>>335632730
Just like Dark Souls 3 tries to be DeS and DS1 and fails, yet most people love it
Is there exploration at all in this game? Or is it entirely focused on the combat?
>>335632576
People are saying "Oh, it's a Souls clone" or "It's an Onimusha wannabe that's ten years too late" and shit, but neither of them's right. There's influences from a whole bunch of other stuff shining through, including Souls/BB, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, and a little bit of Ninja Gaiden (The second scrapped version of the game was canned due to being too similar to NG, so it's probably just some residual leftovers from that version) and even Genji, but Nioh feels distinctly like its own animal.
Where can I download this for Windows 10?
>>335632805
You have to unlock it with more souls.
>>335631823
Yeah playing it like a Souls game is a mistake. I do have a few problems with it (turning and running away from enemies when locked on instead of backstepping makes dodging less important, combat doesn't handle multiple enemies well, movement feels a bit floaty and has no momentum to it) but overall I love it. It's a breath of fresh air after so many Souls games (plus Lords of the Fallen) playing nearly identical to one another.
>>335632805
When you level up you get skill points, you can spend those skill points in the skill menu. Open it with the touchpad
>>335632805
You have to unlock the skill, it's like block+triangle right before you get hit. There's more and for every weapon types.
>>335632817
I thought DaS3 was bloodborne 2? Or was it a repeat of dark souls 2? You guys just can't keep your story straight
>>335623739
>False. leveling up made a huge difference with this. Are people even using the shrines for all the new unlocks you get?
I've seen one level 15 dude, everyone else was 5 when they died. I'm just gonna assume everyone was shit and kept losing their nikita? Shit I forgot the name of them. Fuck it, souls.
>>335632823
The demo is basically all combat in a small area. It's just an alpha, though.
>>335632403
oh it was this
you guys suck
Spirit = defense
>>335632954
fucking dropped
>>335632982
Otogi played nothing like Nioh.
Oh, look. A Doom wannabe.
>>335632952
It tries to be DS1 way too hard, most area are just copies of DS1 areas or stright rips from old games and even weapons ripped from DeS
It's barely it's own thing
This game feels like a souls game with just the right amount of crazy and more technicality thrown in, especially in the fact that it has the advantage of positioning and other aspects being useful so different specials actually have use outside of just doing more damage/being stylish
Can't wait for the full game
>>335632096
Sell your unused equipment, the little guys give you healing items and whetstones
>>335632987
Is like anime. The more you believe the more hits you can take.
New thread.
>>335633110
>it's a Souls ripoff
Shit gam-
>set in ancient Japan
Always wanted a Japanese setting Souls game
I'll give this game a chance then
>>335622671
I hope so.
Action RPGs are better than "muh 'Merican armymans games about shooting sand niggers"
>>335632823
There definitely is exploration
>>335632464
The first part is hard until you get used to it. Too many 4v1 scenarios too. They need to tweak it.
It's not insane hard right now, but it does need sorting a bit.
>>335632823
Don't listen for the other retard. There is a ton of hidden areas and shortcuts and even hidden collectible shit.
It is both exploration and combat. It's just that the stages look somewhat bland at this point.
>>335633026
he told you a lie. there is hidden shit all over the place. e.g. he didn't find it.
>>335632352
Gave it a try.
Parrying doesn't instant kill, but it'll do 1.5k damage barehanded.
>>335632730
Eat a hedgehog
>whistle at enemy
>does nothing
>>335633068
the only area that's remotely a copy of ds1 is smouldreing lake./demon ruins.and even then only for the visuals. nice try though, I hope you'll play the game as it's actually quite good
>>335622714
How did you beat the boss?
What level were you?
>died on the beach once because i accidentaly fell into the water
>died once in the woods
>died once in the burning village
That's it. Just take it slow lure enemies or just use an axe or spear 3-4 enemies are no problem.
You guys act like it's the fucking hardest game ever, have you ever played a game before the Ps3 came out?
>>335633403
Anor Londo dumbass.
>>335631891
> punishing healing mechanics.
>>335633478
that's one room. got any more like this?
>>335633597
>thats one room
Did you even play the game? The elevator, the hidden gwyn room, huge tits room, smough etc. Half of Anor Londo is reused. You are fucking retarded please kill yourself.
>>335632302
>>335632392
a stamina bar has no place in an action game like this and completely ruins the flow. Something like NG or DMC or GoW would be garbage with a stamina meter.
Really wish TN would have some faith in themselves and stop trying to make a Souls clone.

Only skinner box AAA games do this. This is some Asscreed or Far Cry levels of shit.
This was in DMC (although not to the extent of Nioh) and was one of the biggest flaws of the game (among many others, but that's for another time)
I'm guessing Ki is stamina?
>>335633848
None of these areas are copies except anor londo, which is one rom and one corridor. There's also no undead burg. good job
>>335633798
Sorry, three rooms. Not one

Highwall is literally just Undead Burg
Its still not as fun as WoTS4

I think you need to stay below 70%.
>samurai
>white
lol what?
>>335629234
I've found that Medium stance for spears is useful for groups. Just be careful about positioning and lock-on. That said, High stance has a couple of skills you can grab that are great for crowds. One trips, the other is a big-ass arc with good range.
>>335635060
Yeah, below 70% is ideal. It gives you an agility rating with a letter in the status screen.
